- I left the UK early 2020: before Covid, when the UK still had a queen and we were still a member of the EU. A lot had changed. This is my experience of my return.

I live in Spain ( Almeria Province ) and cash is still king, you are allowed to use your common sense, we realised some time ago that the UK was done for. A very good summary of the British attitude.
Hi Gary, I am Moroccan and I live in Leeds. I'm originally from Khemisset; 81km from Rabat. I will be back this July for 3 weeks and it'd be great to grab a coffee or so with you.
I watched the coronation with my mom from Oujda, she wondered why the ceremony money isn't payed by the royal family
yet again another professional video essay , its so refreshing to hear a new perspective on 'developed' and 'developping' countries , please keep uploading Gary
The reason why the guide dogs in morocco not used as much :
1 : moroccans will help the blind person even if they don't know him/her .
2 : trained dogs probably expansive to buy and is hard to look after in house or flat .
I think this is the only reason 🤔
I dunno about Morocco, but in some Muslim countries dog is considered dirty animal (as pig) and the people are hostile to dogs.
@@samuelzamozny763True. In Georgia, there are dogs commonly on the streets. In turkey, there are instead a ridiculous number of cats, for precisely that reason.
Well summed up ... I also grew up in the UK but moved my family to Morocco (Sale) last year because of many of the reasons you mentioned in this video. I find Morocco to be a little chaotic at times but l don't mind it as l know that is the price you pay for more freedom.
I'm in Rabat. If you fancy meeting for a coffee...
@@GariSullivan i did try contacting you last year without much success, i don't really know how to get hold of you.
I left UK in 2017......I had done much travel in my 20's/30's and there is something missing in British life; it's called happiness. It really is a brutal country nowadays for anyone without a high paying skill set. There is a complete lack of understanding what happiness is and any form of spiritual awareness. When I come back for a visit, its always a relief to leave and go to sunnier and happier places. Living in the UK is like treading water but never getting anywhere or growing outside of that comoftable existence of the world you understand.
I agree with most of what you say, there are many reasons why many Brits don't feel happy like they used to do, I would say Morden Politic' the WOKE Ideology being pushed on everyone for starters, the second is how the Main stream media talks down to everyone, and if you don't agree with what they say then you a racist or far right etc. Also if you are unemployed then you have to do so much job searching, and be careful you don't sanctioned. (meaning you will some of your benefits no payment for a short time which can be not stressful but insulting). I am not calling this, the last item but the amount of things they want you to do online, is unbelievable, so many companies and Corporations are becoming just so lazy, so all these things and more out us under so much more stress than we ever want.
Exceptional video. Highly stimulating. Thank you!
Thanks for recommending Morocco Gari, my home country even though I had to leave it for better job opportunities but I was always convinced that is the most beautiful country in the world (nice people, nice weather, nice food ...) I hope to be back soon
Very interesting analysis. Thank you Gari!
If you go to the countryside villages in the UK, people smile, chit chat and it feels like the UK of old. It’s the cities and towns that have really declined.
I always loved my UK but decided to leave last year. People are very angry and I think civil unrest is coming in 2024. I was so surprised and disappointed when nearly all Brits rolled over and gave into lockdown and masks. By the time I left last year my local coop had installed huge cameras at the self serve tills………I felt so violated. The green and pleasant land can no longer be enjoyed because it is such a struggle for the average person to meet daily costs. I want to live, not be stuck in survival mode for the rest of my life.
Hi Gari
Great video as always.
As a Moroccan I don't think that we can compare the UK and Morocco.
Anyway, Your videos are always Interesting, I like seeing things from your point of view.
I would like to see more videos without taking too much time haha
About dogs, I think that the majority of Moroccans prefer cats than dogs for many reasons.
I haven't heard of successful attempts to train cats as helpers for the blind, though. 😳
@@HolgerJakobs لم يفهم الكرغولي
@@Jayeeenn من هذا
I have been living in the UK for many years , what surprised me most and you did not mention is a child giving birth to another child... giving birth at 12,,13 and 14 is becoming a trand and the state and the media is not talking about it ????
الحرية
@@Jayeeenn الحرية عندهم و عندنا يسمونها اغتصاب الاطفال
I like your hoodie 😂also I loved that you mentioned not having guide dogs in Morocco and to be honest all you talked about is true .
If you're tempted to buy one, let me know
I hear theyre putting in alot more cameras soon especially for ulez and i think they might be trying to put a pay per mile for using ur car or bike
Right im 5 seconds into this video after watching 2 of your other videos. Let me just make a prediction that England has gone to absolute cow poop . Well the prices are crazy, rent is crazy. People are crazy ... I went crazy quit my job and booked flights to Morocco and would love to have a long stay or live here. Feels bloody fantastic being here.
No its not perfect , but the weather is good, the food is great. Most people are lovely , Moroccans have great values and seem to take care of eachother. Family values etc.
I still love england but west has lost so much of itself and it feels like its going to get worse, Moroccans should know how lucky they are in alot of ways.
So its very interesting to listen to your opinions as someone who has done just that, well done sir.
Ok maybe i'm wrong lets continue to watch...
watched now, spot on with your views. Its very hard to be proud to be british now or even be allowed to be proud.
And literally had the conversation today with a french guy in the barbers getting my haircut about how i respect the French so much for standing up for themselves . the English just accept their fate and put up with all sorts of crap
Maroccan life arent complicated as western one. Looking at emigration level seems Maroccans value more UK way of life then vice versa
The hoodie got me 😂
If you're tempted to buy one, let me know.
Glad you are back for the coronation Gary😬 (maybe we'll get to see the revolution?)
Am back for a month
The potholes got my car and I got covid.
You sum up the UK beautifully. Actually, I am now back in Morocco. A fortnight in the UK was enough for me.
@@GariSullivanholly molly
We were missed you.
I'm Persian have US. Citizenship, been here since 2001
Traveled 36 countries around the world, quit a bit most of Europe.
My first visit of Morocco was 2017 or 18 was by accident, believe it or not.
Then 2018 and 19
First Covids cases in the world I've got sick in Agadir which some Chinese was in my hotel, that time they told me its a african Flu!
I was looking my missing part in Morocco,
Things we don't have in US.
I was serious to move there
But borders was closed for almost 3 years.
And my business so bad and lost my money on covid time then on crypto currency.
Long story short
Still some thing in my gut saying
There is no life here,no happiness, no future,
Specially when im thinks about retirement in US.
Ill be definitely in the street!
Some thing in my heart says
Go Morocco.
Thanks for what you did on RUclips for us.
I'll keep watching your clips.
Sincerely yours
From W.Texas sand box
You might have got Covid as you don’t wash regularly.
In America
We are copying UK destiny after WW2
We are sinking
I see it
I’m in the process of making the move from uk to Morocco I was born in the uk but ethnically from Morocco 🇲🇦 it will be a big change for me and the kids but it’s a must for me need the change
LEAVE THE UK ASAP possible.
Did you leave morocco for good? Or are you commong back 😅
Interesting views, lots of information. I like Morocco as well, but have spent only a couple of weeks there yet.
What I would miss in the long run is the diversity of people you mentioned as one of the positive aspects about Britain. Especially as a gay person I realise the fear of gays in Morocco. They feel they can never be themselves and are constantly worried that someone might suspect or even find out about them.
And of course communication will always be difficult. My French is very limited, as is my Arabic (even worse). My German, Dutch, English and Turkish don't help much.
Thank you Gary for promoting Morocco but uk remain the heart of human history
It's true that the UK has a lot of history, but it feels like it has no future.
Not really, maybe the heart of european history
England is finished
Get over yourselves, rainy, crappy, constantly surveilled and controlled, fined and taxed and threatened island. Stay there and go down with the ship, a-wipe.
بالصدفة شفت هذا الفيديو ...المغرب وبريطانيا هم التاريخ..ويحب ارجاع حجمهما الحقيقي بغربلة المسؤولين...ونحن المغاربة نحمد الله على ملك حكيم ...اما تشارلز نتمنى ان يكون في مستوى بريطانيا...وكلنا مع بلداننا الى الامام....انا من النوع اللذي لا اتق في الكلاب وذلك لمشاهدتي لكلب يعض طفل صغير على اليوتوب اظنه امريكي ....ولن اتق في اي حيوان وما اتمناه هو ابعادهم....
صراحة طريقتك متميزة ..
As a Moroccan living in the UK, the "authority treating me as a 5 years old" , is something I found to be sweet and so efficient haha the opposite of your feeling I'm afraid 😅
In Morocco everyone is treated with trust? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bless your heart
I spoke english to some shop keepers and they tried to give me the wrong change happens alot lol my cousin told me what they did tho hes from there and he was pissed so he went to the shop and got my correct change only downside one of the only downsides i had experienced there still love the country
@@leemagaming696 yeah I'm Moroccan myself. I know my people. There are some extremely honest and good people and there are some bad ones. It depends which part of the country. In the large cities, you are guilty until proven innocent. In the small towns and villages, you are innocent until proven guilty.
@@chamabensmail-vz2ym yeah i wouldnt wanna be in a moroccan prison because of guilty until proven innocent lol ive heard what the prisons are like lol
@@chamabensmail-vz2ym i agree like many places there are good people and bad people honest people and lying people wherever someone goes
@@chamabensmail-vz2ym i like the country my mums side of the family are from there and most of them are still there what i like most about morocco is that the light pollution isnt as bad as the uk so u can see the sky above at night im hoping when i do go again its still like that
Welcome back home Gari❤
Aside from the signs you already mentioned, you forgot to mention the dystopian "see something, say something" posters and their disturbing images. 😐😬
Don't get me started on the posters!! It's not just the ones to generate paranoia and distrust, it's also the ones that treat you like an infant!
@@GariSullivan sometimes I feel I am living in a rendition of the movie "They live".
Another interesting video! Thanks for the mention, Gari! It was great hanging out with you in the UK!

Lost hope. Yes, I think that's a good summation...
It's really sad to see the slow, but obvious decline of the UK. I love visiting friends and family, but I also feel so sorry for people who still live there. Their future relies on winning the lottery.
I’m not a royalist , but drop the sweat shirt, especially wrt to your guidelines…
I recently returned to the uk after 42 yrs overseas. I don’t agree with any of your points…..
I was in Ukraine during the lockdowns and restaurants and parks were allowed
GARI SULLJVAN, ARE YOU IRISH OR BRITISH?
Hi Gari
Hi Steve
@@GariSullivan did you like the song?
❤😊🇲🇦🌝🫲
There is a general stigma against dogs in Morocco because of religious beliefs. Islam considers dogs to be dirty animals that nullify Wudu for prayer. This is the reason why Moroccan streets are full of stray dogs. For a Muslim, a dog is a nuisance animal.
It is such a shame that Islam teaches that about dogs. In western societies, dogs are very useful for crime investigation and medical services - as well as helping blind people. I have yet to see a blind person in Morocco with a guide dog. Morocco needs to learn that dogs are a great asset to humans.
@@GariSullivan You as British sure you know that dog is an animal. We can not trust an animal as human and you know every year how many accidents happen with dogs to the level of killing children and adults.
There is a reason in Islam for not having dogs and we trust our religion and the west can not teach us how to do some thing against our religion just because they think it is good or ves versa.
Also in Islam for some reasons dog is acceptable but if it is for a reasons such as for security reasons or some kind of jobs that you mentioned. But please respect our faith.
Dogs are an issue in Islamic rules, there is a belief (although not backed by any sacred text), that dogs are unholy and if they enter home, angels leave...
😂🤣 false religions are so backwards
Were you 3 years in morocoo
Yes. In fact, I was in Rabat for three years!
@@GariSullivan I'll be soon in Oujda,welcome anytime Gary
Lolz, being Welsh, when I hear you bang on about the UK all I think is: "This is what us Celts think of the English." And, of course, "Just another English man thinking England is the entirety of the UK." Moan, moan, moan, moan, moan. Backstab. No change really...
I come from the north east of England. I haven't been to Wales, much, but Scotland is close by. Although I see differences between the Welsh, Scottish and the English - the differences aren't as great as I think you would like to imagine. Like it or not, even the Welsh and Scottish have elements of "British" mentality.
@@GariSullivanOk. Then it sounds like you need to get out of the cities. I live in a community of small villages? We see the police about once a month? And then they're just usually lost. Small villages are very, very different from cities (I've lived in London and Cardiff). They really do take care of their own. But you have to live here for about 10 years before your accepted. So what your saying about Morocco? It's all still here - it's just cities have beaten and immigrated it out of the people. Maybe next time you come home, go to a village in the middle of no where, pop in the pub at lunch time an chat to people. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Or you'll think we're all neoNazis. One of the two. But you'll definitely know one thing: We take care of our own.
@@trashman1358you're spot on mate, living in London really makes you feel hopeless. I go to a small town in Suffolk to see my girlfriend every other week and it feels like I'm in a totally different country, people smile people help eachother out when in need.
